PLUSINNO Fly Fishing Net Bass Trout Landing Net - Foldable, Gentle

In this review of the PLUSINNO Fly Fishing Net, the bottom line is simple: anglers who need a compact, durable landing net for freshwater trips will appreciate its foldable design and gentle rubber mesh. The net is aimed at fly fishers, bank and kayak anglers, and anyone who values a lightweight, easy-to-carry tool for catching and releasing small to medium trout and bass. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a teardrop hoop that secures fish and a soft rubber mesh that protects slime and hooks, all in a package that collapses to save space.

Key Features

• Foldable Design: The net collapses from a 28in extended length to a 17in collapsed length, making it easy to stow in a pack or boat.
• Gentle Rubber Mesh: The soft rubber texture protects fish skin and avoids tangling with hooks and rigs during catch and release.
• Teardrop Hoop Shape: The 16in x 13in hoop and 10in net depth keep small trout and bass secure for photos or release.
• Lightweight Construction: At just under a pound, the net is comfortable for wading and long days on the water without adding bulk.
• Carry and Retention: A special belt clip, skid-resistant handhold and sturdy carabiner with magnetic catch make it unlikely to be lost while fishing.
• Portable Storage: The foldable pole and hoops allow compact storage while still delivering a large hoop when extended.

Who It's For

The PLUSINNO net is best for freshwater anglers who fish streams, shorelines, kayaks or small boats and who prioritize safe catch-and-release handling. Fly fishers who need a non-tangling rubber mesh and a teardrop basket will find the net especially useful because it protects delicate fish and simplifies hook removal.

It is less suited to anglers targeting very large fish that require a deeper or heavier-duty net; those pursuing large saltwater species should look for bigger, saltwater-rated gear. Also, if you need a rigid, non-folding net for heavy-duty use, a fixed-handle model may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Folds down to a compact 17in making it easy to carry and store when space is limited.
• Rubber mesh is gentle on fish and resists tangling with hooks and rigs.
• Lightweight build and skid-resistant handle make it comfortable for wading and long sessions.
• Magnetic carabiner and belt clip reduce the chance of losing the net while fishing.

Cons

• Net depth and hoop size are aimed at small to medium fish and may be limiting for larger species.
• The foldable mechanism adds convenience but may feel less rigid than a one-piece handle under heavy load.
